I believe I'm right in saying you can use divine intervention to avoid dying but when can you call upon it? For example a blow in combat reduces your hitpoints to zero can you use it at that moment and if so could humakt followers use it then?

Some examples of how you handle divine intervention would be greatly appreciated.

That's where I read it!

I can't for the life of me remember where I read it but it does make sense as an item being iron doesn't increase its size just its robustness.

Been reading some supplements recently and one of them raised a question regarding iron weapon hit points/parrying.

It stated that iron weapons had the improved hit points of 50% extra but could only block the weapons original amount of damage for example iron broadsword when parrying blocks 12 damage.

Is this the way blocking is meant to work in vanilla RQ?

What's the scale of the map (the smaller non colour one) showing colymar lands in the Gamesmaster pack?

I can't see it anywhere.

Thanks! Looking at the various methods I think RQ3 has the best implementation.

I think I read somewhere that when attacking/parrying with spears/hated weapons you cant damage opponents weapon. I'm not sure the exact rule but I know it had somekind of special ruling.

Can anyone clarify the ruling for me?

Given they were only ever flimsy softbacks, the PODs are great:

Where do you get the PODs?

I'd buy this if it was available in print. 

I plumb for famous people as characters (both PC and NPC) as it helps people have a image in their minds eye and helps with immersion.

They have not been published. IIRC they will be in the GM’s Guide. I’m piecing them together from;

• Whitebull Season Two, Episodes 9-11 on YouTube and the summary by @Lordabdul also linked above.
• The Well of Daliath article linked above

The approach appears to be based on the Pendragon Book of Battle rules to some extent.

There’s another article somewhere (perhaps on Well of Daliath) from around 2019 with the Order of Battle for Battle of the Queens that is referenced in Armies & Enemies of Dragon Pass - Dalini, 1st & 2nd Furthest Foot, Veterans and Landholder Horse. That appears to have been superseded by the OOB used in White Bull Season Two and the more recent Well of Daliath articles.

I think I have enough to be able to fill in some of the blanks. It would be great to have access to the RQG battle rules themselves but there are understandably higher priorities in the pipeline such as the wonderful Cults books. Of course, if anyone in the know is willing to share some more tidbits, that would be lovely.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry if this question is abit off topic but where do you find these battle rules?

OP @Mordante -- just wondering, how are we doing at meeting your request?
If you're still in want, can you fine-tune it a bit, or...?

I'm just enjoying the amount of replies my has/is receiving  and how helpful they are!

Let me take this opportunity to thank everyone who's taken the time and effort to reply!

That would depict the world of Glorantha as I haven't as yet gotten a grasp on how people dress/building's etc.

Is there any particular civilizations that I should be using?

I hope you can help.

I'm in the it can't be parried camp but you can dodge it whereas bracing or absorbing the force of the shove is covered by the resistance check.

It's a shame that copy of enclosure isn't online somewhere.

Thanks Steve!

I know there was a version of the rules using the pendragon rules (called something along the lines of penpass) but I can't find a copy of them anywhere. Can anyone help me?

I'm interested in what house rules people are using especially when it comes to combat 

Please could you share these both combat and non combat rulings.

Thanks!

I've just finished reading the rulebook and have left with the question what does a Heroquest look like/what actually happens?

I hope you can help me.

Thanks!

Is there a battle system for runequest available anyway in the mold of pendragon?

OK here's another situation which I'm not sure about!

When casting multiple spells during a round do you add the unprepared strike rank modifier to subsequent spells even if you are using the same spell so for example cast spell on SR3 and then would incur 5SR penalty plus dex  SR on the spell next spell?

I'm especially interested in how casting healing works for example could you cast healing 1 multiple times during a round and would it in incur the unprepared spell mod?

Thanks again to everyone who's replied!
